"Shell shaking" involves cleaning
oyster shells by shaking off the dirt
and debris so baby oysters can
successfully grow on them. This is
critical in our oyster restoration
efforts, as without cleaning the
oyster shells, we could potentially
lose millions of healthy larvae as
they attach to debris, rather than the
shell, and are later washed out into
the silt.

This event is a bit of a workout, but
a fun hands-on experience. With
lifting involved, it is not
recommended for individuals with
a bad back or other health
concerns. Water will be provided,
but please wear closed-toe shoes
and bring a water bottle for refills.
Participants under 18 must be
accompanied by an adult.
